Why do I Write?


Why do I write? Is it because of the way the words sound? Is it because of the inspiration all around? Why do I write? Is it simply a way for me to be heard? To find new techniques of poetry to learn? Why do I Write? It's not simply the flow of words, that run from my head through my body to my hand to the pencil It's not simply the way the words seem to come alive in order to express the deeper meaning that I'm trying to convey from my very soul. So then why do I write? The answer... to be heard to have a voice to explain even the hardest of feelings that I can never explain in person The answer... to convey a message that no one pays attention to to speak a lesson to the ears of those who will actually listen to send a wave of knowledge ina common language I write to be me
